Your Opinion
Opinion overlooks Obama associates

Advertisement

By Barbara Hill, Jefferson City

Published: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 4:43 PM CDT

Dear Editor: Your Our Opinion published in Tuesday's newspaper contained the following quip concerning the now well-corroborated and much-more-than casual connection between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, the confessed American terrorist.

“Are associations from more than a decade ago really important? Does anybody believe someone can advance through elected office and contend for the presidency without rubbing elbows with an unsavory character along the way?”

First, the “association” between BHO and Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground was not more than a decade ago. If to his political advantage, BHO would be in Ayers' living room tonight.

Secondly, you proffer Ayers is the only “unsavory character” with whom BHO has chosen to associate. That simply is not true, and I will name names.

Frank Marshall Davis, “Obama's Communist Mentor,” by Cliff Kincaid, AIM, 18 Feb 08.

Rashid Khalidi, “friend and frequent dinner guest” who “holds anti-American views” according to Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., author of The Obamanation.

Raila Odinga. Watch “Barrack Obama & Raila Odinga” CNN clips at www.atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/Kenyas_killing _fields/.

Jeremiah Wright. Ali Abunimah. See “Obama Raised Funds for Islamic Causes” by Aaron Klein, WorldNet-Daily, 25 Feb 08.

Syrian-born Tony Rezko, friend and convicted fundraiser now pending sentencing in Chicago. ACORN and Project Vote.

There are undoubtedly many more “unsavory characters” in BHO's past and present, but no one sent 60 lawyers to Chicago to “vet” BHO, and the standard media sources are “in the tank for Obama.”

Instead of publishing Our Opinion anonymously under “The News Tribune,” you should just keep up the good work of publishing my favorite columnist, Thomas Sowell.

" Doug, that was pathetic. Using all your cerebral powers, and sharing all your knowledge on islam, muslims, and the middle east you have answered none of the human right concerns addressed. Go waste someone elses time, or read a book....sad. "

" MS, maybe you should go read up a little on the muslim faith. In many respects the quaran promotes womens rights much more so than the bible. Now as I have said time and again it is some of the polocies of the countries moreso than the religion. Funny how now the atheist is the one whom has to defend a religious belief to the christians that generally bash me for no beliefs with the fact that christianity gives them the moral direction. What a joke. "

If live and Doug will think real hard (cuz you soft of get it Nat), they would realize that my position supports the muslim individuals freedoms, human rights and ultimately servival more than thiers. Pretending it's gonna be ok and over lokking all these human right violations is what got us Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc. Standing up, stating the truth, not accepting these disgusting parts of their culture must be done. I do it not to insult or be "discriminatory" I do it because there a little girls and boys throuhgout these countries suffering, and they deserve a voice. I'm one person, but I'm saying it without shame or fear...for the children. "

" ahh, ms I. Always good to hear your facism. The country of the United Arab Emirates (which has a muslim majority) is a great country to start with to slowly introduce you to the muslim world. Even in 1977, their supreme court said that a woman could divorce her husband when he physically abused her. Also, she could retain custody of her children. Pretty progressive, wouldn't you think? The only reason I know this, is I was there once, Burger King delivers. You can't get more progressive than that. "

"

douglas12 wrote on Oct 24, 2008 1:25 PM:

" msindendent, my point is you threw the muslim faith into tthe stereotype that the majority are these radicals. That is by no means accurate. Yes I find it very sick what some radicals do within the culture as I do in every culture. I will even give you that in todays world it does seem as though % wise the muslim culture has more radicals than say christianity, however that does not mean that the majority of muslims practice what you claimed they do. When someone wants to vilify the whole by actions of the few, I call that person as I see them. "

Not sure I get your logic there pal. It real simple, half of their people have no rights. Criminals are mutilated. Women killed, how about we add the mutilation of genitals still practiced on a large portion of female muslims?... never mind, your not worth it. "

" Doug, it's a fact.

Where are the moderate muslims and the outrage over all the atrocities these so called terrorists have perpetrated??

5000 "honor" killings last year alone, these are their own daughters!!

sharia law does allow the removal of body parts for crimes, it is widely practiced.

islamic women have no rights.

How dare you say I'm hating, or lying when the problem is THEIR culture, not mine. Show me one example where a Christian captive was provided a bible while captive, ZERO, we sustain our captives, they behead theirs, you have some nerve or are one ignorant person DOUG!! "

" It is disgusting to me that it has become exceptable in this country to flat be descriminatory against anything muslim. This is no difference than stereotyping Blacks, Gays, Hispanics, Jewish, or whatever else. It is just plain hate for what none of us understand so we just throw out the radical stuff and summerize the majority as such. "

douglas12 wrote on Oct 24, 2008 10:18 AM:

" Msindependent, that is just a flat out lie and a very disgusting dipiction of islamic faith. Yes they have radicals, but that the majority is that way?

The Majority of islam practics a radical version, this-is-a-cultural-battle, what appeals to you the most about islam, is it....

Womans-rights?

Removing body parts for crimes?

Honor killings of their daughters?

Persecutions of other religions, heck even different version of their own-religion?

Why is a so-called Christian connected so well to a radical muslim raising money for questionalbe use in palistine?

These are reasonable questions, too bad all we get is deception. Guess they must be true because we never get a direct answer. "

Former secretary of state Colin Powell, a Republican and military general who has also served as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, on Sunday endorsed Obama and said of Palin: "I don't believe she is ready to be president of the United States, which is the job of the vice president."

George H.W. Bush's speechwriters, Christopher Buckley, a prominent conservative, announced this month he was abandoning support for McCain for many reasons, including "the Palin nomination. " "

I agree that Obama stands a pretty good chance today, who knows what tomorrow will bring. I would like to know more about who he will appoint to each dept and bench, that will help us know how they will be run and decided.

Its founder, Joe Vogler, preached terrorism for and hatred of America (that is, the United States), and when he finally died, according to his wish to "never be buried under an American flag," he was interred in Canada.
The organization is the Alaskan Independence Party.
For many years, Sarah and Todd Palin have been solid supporters of the AIP. Earlier this year, Gov. Palin made her annual speech in support of the AIP. Her endorsement is on youtube at
youtube.com/watch?v=ZwvPNXYrIyI
and the same speech is also on the AIP website. Listen for yourself and think! "

" ...and now Obama can't even tell the truth about what baseball team he wants to win the World Series, this is a perfect example of Obama's pandering, and his lack of decision making ability, something as simple as baseball and he's straddling the fence, liying to both cities/states. rotflmao, He wouldn't even make a good baseball commisioner, never mind leader of the free world.

" Wow, these are not rumors, these are legitimate questions that should have been addressed years ago. The bizzaire God like status of Barrack Hussaine Obama has kept the media from vetting him properly. Don't blame the right for asking legitimate questions, the guy has a who's who list of leftist friends and associates, he is the most liberal senator (bi-partisan study-FACT). We get it, your in love with him, do you get the concern we have for a guy with this track record defending our nation?? I'm not risking my families future on an unproven nice guy, go cut your teeth for another decade Mr. Obama, your way to risky for the world in 2008. "

" Geeeezzzzzzzzzzz what next? Obama paled around with Barney The Purple Lizard? How about Obama use to date a girl from Hawaii who wasn't really a natural born Hawaiian? Surely that's truly bad. Now that he's heading home to visit his ill Grandmother is somebody gonna start negative rumors about that?

I admit Obama isn't God nor is he without sin. But he is however the person that many people believe should be the next US President. I can live with that.

What about the McCains/Plains and their screwy associates? I guess that doesn't matter because their associates are named Smith, Keating, Hauge...ya know,good Christian/Catholic names.

Paaaaaaleeeeezzzze!!!!! Obama 2008 and beyond! "

" THANK YOU Ms. Hill! Frankly, I'm surprised that NT even published the letter given that virtually all the media is so pro-Obama that you can smell it from the front page to the last. "

" Finally, someone with enough guts to publish what could be the motive behind a lot dismissed by the media. Why is it the Democrats continue to call these associations unimportant. They would have you believe that it is all sensationized by GOP to discredit BHO. Were it a story of a Republican candidate it would suddenly gain great importance. These are skeletons that will come to life in a concerning form after the election. "
